Description

In https://github.com/SciML/DiffEqJump.jl/pull/225 I couldn't consistently use the user-provided rng to JumpProblem as some places only have integrators as input (for example in callbacks). It would be nice to have a consistent interface for setting and getting at a rng across DiffEqJump (or even better SciML). Maybe stashing it in the integrator makes sense?

Research direction

Start by tracing JumpProblem and the callback paths where only an integrator is available, then compare how user-provided RNGs are currently passed through DiffEqJump. Done means there is a decided, consistent interface for setting and getting the user RNG across the affected paths.
